Evolution of Mona Lisa

Incase anyone likes genetic algorithms and art, I tried to combine the two topics just for fun this weekend :-) http://rogeralsing.com/2008/12/07/genetic-programming-evolution-of-mona-lisa/[^] (And sorry if this looks like some self promotion post, I don't do that normally but I just thought the topic might be lounge worthy)

Nice! I used GAs as part of my PhD so I'm always interested to see them used in novel ways.

It is rather impressive, but like Richard Dawkins Evolution Generator from his book Climbing Mount Improbable, it is randomly mutating into a predisposed position. That is not to take away anything from your work, but to call it evolution is a misnomer, unfortunately it is nearer intelligent design...[imagine long unweildy conversation in soapbox... and we're back in the lounge]... I understand the principal, but if it could paint new and interesting pictures, that would be something else! BTW I never understood the fascination of a woman with no eyebrows?, and why did Da Vinci paint her so many times?

That is a matter of how you see it :-) The "source image" in this case the Mona Lisa, could be seen as "the environment" And the generated image should be seen as "the adaption", how fit the organism is, not how the actual organism itself looks. Also, this is not intended to be used as some sort of "god does not exist" propaganda. I'm well aware that this only proves that; evolution works in a designed environment with designed rules. I can never similate evolution w/o me myself beeing a parameter in the simulation. But this might lead into soapbox material quite fast , so I'll shut up now :)

That's cool :) How long did it take to iterate 904314 generations?
